Abstract

An input method executable by an electronic device is disclosed. Electrical touch operation signals are generated representative of an touch operation. Digital touch operation signals are generated based on the electrical touch operation signals. The digital touch operations signals include a touch operation object representative of the touch operation. The touch operation object includes a first field, second field, and a third field. The first field reflects a detected net force of the touch operation, the second field reflects a detected dimension of a touch area associated with the touch operation, and the third field reflects a detected location associated with the touch operation. A force sensitive event is determined where the detected net force in the first field exceeds a threshold. A graphical user interface function is activated based on the detected location upon the force sensitive event.
